Lonely Planet review for Birka Museum
The Viking trading centre of Birka, on Björkö in Mälaren lake, is now a Unesco World Heritage site. It was founded around AD 760 with the intention of expanding and controlling trade in the region. Exhibits at the brilliant Birka Museum include finds from the excavations, copies of the most magnificent objects, and an interesting model of the village in Viking times.
